shyt is clockwork for new titles. Strive is honestly a special type of dogshyt because all the OGS aren't actually looking at things with rose tinted glasses like "well the old game is better..." cuz strive is just terrible compared to every other rendition of GG. look at Tekken, 8 scrubby for sure. But 4 has unblockables

every title in that series has moves that were game breaking and silly. It was just better movement. but scrubby shyt nonetheless.
MVC2 adulation was always fascinating. It is both one of the highest ceiling games and the scrubbiest possible. infinites, guard breaks, Storm herself essentially rendering 95% of the game unplayable

yes some of the execution is hard at first but once you can do it, it isn't. Then you are left with the fact unless you are some type of psychopath you have a handful of viable team shells if you don't want to just be handicapped from round start.
